Bezodis, Gaudino & Samozino approaches to horizontal mechanical power

Approaches and level of analysis of the physical demonstration of professional soccer players. Level 8 (part 4).

We continue with the approaches used by Bezodis et al. 2008, Gaudino et al. 2012, and Samozino et al. 2013, for the calculus of the horizontal mechanical power demonstrated by different athletes, some of them soccer players.
The basic characteristic of this approaches is that they put more "weight" to the acceleration demonstrated by the athlete, and that means, as you will see in the graphics presented today, that when the player shows a more or less constant speed (not frequent but sometimes happens dependent on the task or phase of the game ...) he is not applying horizontal mechanical power.
See it and take your own conclusion ... and share!

Enjoy,
